Remedial sealant & repairs in Hackbridge, Greater London
Removing failed, mouldy or leaking sealant and putting it right for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hackbridge. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant applied over old sealant that has lifted
- A shower that leaks however often it’s resealed
- Kitchen joints letting water behind the worktop
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Remedial sealant in Hackbridge, done properly
Getting old sealant out properly is slow, careful work. We cut out every layer, clear the residue and degrease the surfaces, without scratching tiles, trays or frames. New sealant only bonds to a clean, dry joint. If you have black mould underneath the bead and thick, messy sealant smeared over tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hackbridge and across Greater London.

Hackbridge: your questions answered
I live in a flat in Hackbridge. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mitcham Eastfields station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Does remedial work come with a guarantee?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What remedial sealant looks like in Hackbridge
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Rented homes near Mitcham Eastfields station change hands often, and a joint that keeps failing is best fixed properly while the property is empty. As a London address, Hackbridge can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How the job changes by surface
Leaking trays & enclosures
Where the joints are the problem, every bead is stripped and resealed with anti-fungal sanitary silicone, including the screen profile and tray edges.
Worktops & kitchens
A loose worktop splits its sealant. That needs refixing before resealing, and we’ll tell you if we find it.
Why deal with it now?
It’s easy to scratch acrylic, enamel or an uPVC frame cutting out old sealant, and the residue left behind stops the next bead bonding. Careful stripping is where most of our time goes. In a flat in Hackbridge, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Deal with small splits early
- Keep bleach and abrasives off the bead
- Get the cause of a repeat leak found before resealing
- Check ceilings under showers for marks
Give the new sealant its full cure time: follow the cure time we give you.
A failing joint rarely gets better on its own. Each use pushes more water behind the bead, into floors, walls or ceilings. Sorting it early limits the damage.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement from fittings that are not supported
- Failed tanking or loose tiles behind the sealant
- A cracked shower tray or bath (that needs repair or replacing)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Mouldy bath & shower sealant
- Shrunken worktop sealant
- Expansion joints
- Leaking tray & enclosure joints
- Failed movement joints
- Botched or over-sealed joints
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, depending on how many layers have to come out. In Hackbridge, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we find out how and where the joint has failed.
- Every layer of old sealant is cut and cleaned out.
- Next, any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We use the right backing and sealant for any joint that moves.
- We tool the joint and tell you about anything else that needs attention.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
